This scan of an old photograph is a bit short of dots per inch. Could it possibly be made to look crisper, please? Tim riley talk 13:14, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
please remove border and watermarking, and is it just my monitor or has someone blacked out his eyes?… -- Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:12, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's much better, there's still a bit of border on the bottom left corner, and a chunk of tape on the upper right.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 05:27, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
please remove background-a separate image does not need to be made… -- Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 01:32, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kintetsubuffalo sorry couldn't help myself, I made a PNG. I also used a older revision of that image since that one was out of focus. I also darkened the image a bit. Will this work? - Offnfopt(talk) 04:45, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's great, it looks fantastic, thank you! The only reason I put the caveat is recently a lot of images are unnecessarily duplicated. But yours is outstanding, thank you!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 13:31, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Could a copy be made of this file being cropped and enlarged to focus on the corner flag please? Please don't overwrite the original. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 13:13, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please remove the cables. -- --Երևանցիtalk 19:14, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done I also had to move the large suspended street lamp. You might want to check to see if I've missed anything. nagualdesign 07:35, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Is it possible to remove the microphone from this image? If not then please ping me. -- Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 21:42, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't usually like doing these, because so much of the face is obscured. With this one there was enough available to clone that I thought the result I got was not completely awful, and worth showing. I'm not sure I'd use it, because it still recreates significant areas of the face that were not present, but there it is to look at. --Begoon 00:37, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your help Begoon. I will discuss at the article talkpage whether it will be used. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:11, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I uploaded a newer version of File:Freak Me Silk.jpg from another eBay page. Angle/perspective should be (re-)fixed but just for the newest, brighter version. I don't mind PNG version replacing JPEG version if that's necessary and if anyone is going to do it. -- George Ho (talk) 08:54, 24 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please remove all the nylon strings holding the objects, clean the white foreground (keep the shadows though) making it all white and removing any spots and lines, and also the same with the brown background remove all lines. In the last two images also remove the corner in the right area by extending the straight horizontal line. Feel free to upload your file over the original, no need to create separate files. -- Gryffindor (talk) 00:32, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
please make non-tif version, no border, shorter name like File:Herndon-Glanton-Reeves_House,_524_Greenville_Street,_La_Grange,_Georgia would be nice… -- Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 12:19, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
MjolnirPantsZat ist sehr gut, Herr Pants! (twirling my Kaiser Bill moustache) Vielen Dank!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 07:41, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oops-can you trim off the side borders? Thanks!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 07:42, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Mochten sie de halten...Uh... I don't know the German word for "caption". Do you want to keep the caption? <gnaws on a cigar, which may or may not be just a cigar>
Laughing aus Loud! Das ist a gut question, ve have vays to make a new file, ja? Maybe zis is a solution? One mit captions, und a separate one?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 03:35, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fantastic, thank you! And thank you for the classic film tip! One I've not seen, and shall!--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 04:56, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Could this be cropped to get rid of the corrupted portion? I tried to use CropTool, but it failed. If there's a technical barrier to cropping, please let me know. Nyttend (talk) 14:46, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I took a look at the hex, and I'm not sure if this is the result of some automatic process during the upload or a previous attempt to repair the file, but the hex says those blocks are actually solid #ffffff, so there's nothing I can really do except for the crop. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPantsTell me all about it. 16:38, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@MPants at work and Nyttend: These errors occur when the connection is broken during image transfer. PawełMM (talk) 17:29, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't realize that. I had it happen once, File:Bridge 246 at Patoka, eastern side.jpg, so I requested deletion and reuploaded it, but the second upload was identical to the first, as you can see from the fact that it was cropped by a couple of other editors more than a year after the original upload. Nyttend (talk) 20:25, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yep. I would bet that the software on the wiki servers either creates the file locally and then streams in the data as you upload, or does some automatic repair, hence why it displays at all. It could, possibly be firefox, which I used to download a copy of the image, but like I said, the hex showed actual 8x16px blocks making up the bottom 1/3 of the image. I had hopes that it was a couple of corrupt blocks screwing up the rest, in which case I could manually fix them or fill in the blanks from my imagination, but alas, twas not to be. The only way to recover the missing data would be to re-upload the file, and that's assuming the original file wasn't corrupted. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPantsTell me all about it. 20:33, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Was FFFFFF correct? To me it's grey, which I suppose would be 808080 or C0C0C0. Nyttend (talk) 20:41, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
White is what was displayed when I right-clicked the image and selected "View image", as well as when I downloaded it. But the thumbnails (including the larger preview on the image page) did show a medium grey, which is why I was going on so much about how it happened; it's a little bit of a mystery. I know a few things about jpeg compression, and I know how to look stuff up (and I'm also a digital artist), but I'm not specifically an expert in digital imagery data. A real expert would probably know off the top of their head what exactly happened, how and why. But I do believe that Pavel is correct; it's a fairly common occurrence. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPantsTell me all about it. 21:07, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Please check the file description pages and make any necessary edits. I just did a rough copy/paste job with the text. nagualdesign 04:02, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
